HC Deb 12 May 1964 vol 695 c56W
Dr. D. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many maintained and voluntary aided primary and secondary schools that are now in use were built before the year 1880; when he expects to replace these schools completely by modern premises; and whether he will give this matter the fullest priority in his building programme.

Mr. Hogg

Information in this form is not available, but some light will be thrown on the age of school buildings as at June, 1962, by the report on school premises I propose to publish. The improvement of unsatisfactory school buildings and modern additions to old buildings are regular features of the school building programme and the process will continue.
